The month is thus and thus. (He then withdrew his thumb at the third time). He then said: Fast when you see it, and break your fast when you see it, and if the weather is cloudy calculate it (the months of Sha'ban and Shawwal) as thirty days.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ رَمَضَانَ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ الشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا ثُمَّ عَقَدَ إِبْهَامَهُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ فَصُومُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ فَإِنْ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاقْدِرُوا لَهُ ثَلاَثِينَ
[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said: Fast when you see the new moon and break your fast when you see it. But if it is cloudy for you, then complete the month as thirty days. And the month should be like this and like this and like this and tie it securely."
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ صُومُوا الْهِلَالَ لِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَأَفْطِرُوا لِرُؤْيَتِهِ فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ ثَلَاثِينَ وَالشَّهْرُ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَعَقَدَ
"الشَّهْرُ هكذا وهكذا وهكذا وعَقَدَ إِبْهَامَهُ في الثَّالِثَةِ، صُومُوا لِرُؤيَتِهِ وأفْطِرُوا لِرُؤيَتِهِ فإِنْ أُغْمِى عليكم فَاقْدُرُوا ثَلاثِينَ".
